There seems to be ah, 22 thousand people sitting down, so ah, we're gonna sit down. For anybody who keeps shouting out about all of the numbers we got to put you straight from the word go. We ah, we have this sort of thing all over the place. What we like to do is to do as much as possible in the time that we've got. So please don't shout out because we're gonna do it eventually. This is a thing ah, once again not too far away from New York is California, and a I suppose being in the southen Hemisphere all you do is read about it, but let me tell ya, it's a wonderful thing. If you go back there now then it's a little bit tarnished, but nevertheless it's an experience worth writing down. So, I can't hear you about three miles away Jack.

The New Zealand railways. What is the food like on those trains? Can I tell ya, ah, where we come from ah, we started all this trouble a long time ago. I think that somebody invented a kettle that, with a lid, that went up and down in the air. We;;, we've had no success if it's in fact kettle really. Nothing runs on time, no food, you can't eat nothing, and thank you for catching the train then.

Before: Dazed and Confused
We seem to have found the, the north sea's been hiding in the equipment all the way here. Well, with every concert that reaches the size that they reckon that this is gonna reach, there are a lot of problems, and coming from Bombay, and trying to ignore the joke that isn't coming from Bombay at the same time. We don't even know what these problems were, but ah, I said coming from Bombay, not Birmingham. Anyway, its all, it's all really fresh and very new. So, this is one called Dazed and Confused. Good evening. We want to be able to hear in Wellington because Bianca is down in Wellington, and she can't be here tonight.
